Police: Suspects target electronics display case at Meijer in Jenison

JENISON – Two Grand Rapids men are jailed this morning after they tried to break into an electronics display case at the Meijer Inc. store on Baldwin Street, Ottawa County sheriff's deputies said.

They are considered suspects in other crimes in recent weeks, police said.

Loss-prevention workers noted the suspects acting suspiciously when they entered the store around 1 a.m. When the suspects tried to break open a display case in the electronics department, workers called 911.

The suspects, who brought burglary tools, could not open the case, and left the store, where they were arrested by sheriff's deputies, Lt. Mark Bennett said.

He said that the suspects, ages 18 and 21, could be linked to similar crimes in West Michigan.
